We asked our staff, “What was the first album you ever purchased?” See which albums we spent our cash on.
I’m pretty sure it was Prince’s “1999” album.
— Kelly Tyner, director of sales and marketing
Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”
— Donia Simmons, creative director
My first album was Nas’ “I Am…” It was on cassette, and I bought it in the summer of ’99.
— Daniel Jean-Louis, account manager
“This Beautiful Mess” by Sixpence None the Richer. I thought I was so edgy.
— Brian Jewell, executive editor
Spice Girls’ “Spice World.” I’m totally a child of the ’90s.
— Ashley Ricks, graphic designer and circulation manager
“Kidz Bop 2.” You know it.
— Kyle Anderson, account manager
“Let’s Square Dance, Vol. 1.” It was a killer.
